I love osdev. I don't know what the end game is for me, but there's something really cool about being able to just create... whatever I want. It all sort of clicked for me when I was able to get some basic x86 interrupts and syscalls working. Once you get the syscalls going, the world is your oyster!
Seriously, I would highly recommend tinkering around with a hobby OS. I used it as an opportunity to learn Rust and I got more than I bargained for. Now, I feel somewhat comfortable in Rust AND I can throw more double and triple faults than most people in the world.
